Three police officers linked to mental health expert’s killing as DCI unravels Murder Plot
Inspector Kenneth Kipkemboi Sang, the Officer Commanding Nderi Police Post under Kikuyu Police Station, is believed to have played a central role in coordinating the operation by linking the financiers to the execution team.
Nairobi, Kenya - Three police officers are implicated in the assassination of mental health expert Dr Victoria Nthunya Mutiso. Inspector Kenneth Kipkemboi Sang, Officer Commanding Nderi Police Post, is believed to have coordinated the operation. Police Constable Elijah Kibelion Kimoi, attached to Karinde Police Post, is suspected of shooting Dr Mutiso while Police Constable Bett Kiplangat Collins of Thogoto Police Post is thought to have been at the scene.
Dr Mutiso was killed while traveling in an Uber to her office in Nairobi's Upper Hill on July 29. The three Toyota Prado vehicles used in the ambush were strategically placed to block the vehicle's path. Daniel Mwangi Njoroge is alleged to have hired the vehicles and personally drove one that blocked the victim's car before the shooting.
Kelvng Ngugi Kinuthia is said to have brought the gunman to the scene on a motorcycle. Forensic evidence places him at the murder scene. The killing was reportedly motivated by a long-standing land dispute over property in Mlolongo, as Dr Mutiso had lodged a caveat over the land. Rose Mbithe Mulwa and her son Christopher Mulwa are among those detained, allegedly as the financiers and organizers of the murder.
Dr Mutiso had previously survived an assassination attempt on July 7. The Director of Criminal Investigations, Mohamed Amin, stated that the officers' involvement was a serious betrayal and vowed to hold all suspects accountable.
